41. Make a few more detail changes and you??™re almost there. First, press the Tab key
to turn off the SubD mode. It??™s sometimes better to work with subdivision mode

when trying to adjust edges.
42. Make an incremental save by pressing Shift+s.
43. Now, how about tightening up the shape of the end polygon? Make sure Polygons
selection mode is set at the bottom of the interface, and Ctrl+click the nine polygons
that make up the end of the banana (Cmd-click on the Mac).
44. Press Shift+] (the right bracket key) to expand the selection, as in Figure 8.21.

47. Turn off the Stretch tool (or press the spacebar), then deselect the polygons (press /).
